Des I think we"re referring more around the community side of APAT here, and I know you understand that so it"s just a case of gauging opinions. Again I can only agree that Dave completely deserved his WCOAP victory and has had a fantastic year.....and yes he"s an APAT member, but is he a member of the APAT community? I can"t answer that as I don"t know Dave, his username or whether or not he"s played at other APAT events before or after DTD. So for my part I can only state that this is in no way some kind of witch hunt, alternatively I have huge admiration for his summer results and from hearing the praise about his play. In the same sense, could we then argue that someone like Roberto Romanello be nominated, having won EPT Czech Republic and WPT Slovenia? Or A.N. Other be nominated for the amount they"ve won at cash tables this year?
Our forum is one of the reasons that APAT is particularly special to be a part of, so I think it"s also the best place to raise this kind of issue. Regardless of who agrees/disagrees with the point, it"s definitely a valid point worthy of discussion.
